The Million Dollar Sprint Racing Challenge!

[Vaxxine]

Calling all racing stables!

I'm offering 1,000,000 HWO currency to anyone who can break the current lvl 10 sprint racing world record!




Why in the world would I pay so much to have my own horse beat?
Long story short, one day in a lapse of common sense I aged out poor Luigi without breeding him at all! Absolutely embarrassing! I was certain he wouldn't hold the sprint racing record for very long, leaving my embarrassing mistake to fade away as a distant memory.

8 months later..he's still there, a shining example how to ruin a line. I'd love to have him beat so I can retire his sire [Ω Castle], start a new line and put this all behind me.

Hints and tips for breaking racing records:

I will be the first to admit I don't have the best horses in the game. My horses are generally mismatched, oddly bred and genetically sub-par. I'm okay at helping mediocre horses get good scores, that's about it. This is what I've learned, and I'm sharing it with you! Please feel free to correct me or add any tips of your own.

Condition is vital!
Test your horse in local shows to see what weight they perform best[very thin, thin, moderately thin]. I've found some horses perform best right after barely hitting thin, some like it heavier. Moderate condition can impede racing scores.

Temperament is vital!
I've only had real success with racing spirited or high strung horses. Previously you could make any horse "racing hot" with corn/sugar, but I haven't had any luck in altering temperament with the new feeding system. Unless he's rocking some seriously awesome genes, I personally wouldn't bother racing a bombproof horse. I am super impressed with the current field of race horses with laid back attitudes. Impressive breeding, I bow to your talents!

Training is vital!
the difference between 98% and 99.7% speed could be a world record.

Horses don't always perform consistently!
Enter in as many races as possible, you never know when they'll take a record. might be their first race, maybe their 10th.

The right body type certainly helps!

Winning Conditions

The owner of the horse that dethrones Luigi and takes the Sprint Racing World Record will win this challenge. Beating the score of 0:42:96 in any level but 10 will not count. I would like Luigi to lose his record, so this is a mandatory winning condition. You must provide an unwanted horse for sale at the price of 1,000,000,000 to receive your winnings. I am planning on hosting extra shows of sprint racing with generous purse sizes to encourage the sport and make the challenge a bit easier.

Good Luck!

** My accounts are Vaxxine and theestate. I am paying to dethrone my own horse, not someone else's.

Just letting you know that 1,000,000,000 is a billion dollars not a million. You may want to correct that.

The record has been beat!
